In with the new

Our New Yearโ€™s Eve was filled with family friends (of the human and fur variety) food and fireworks. Ball so hard. Fireworks were illegal here for a long as I can remember, and just a few years ago, they changed that. Needless to say, my brothers and husband were very excitedโ€ฆ   We ended up…

12/30: Thoughts from the week

-I found it hilariously appropriate that this poster was hanging in the exam room for todayโ€™s midwife appointment. -My cervix is not a trampoline, but I have a little friend who seems to think otherwise. Iโ€™ll be walking along happily and KA-POW! Itโ€™s a feeling unlike any other- shocking, really. -I can fall asleep anywhere…

Oh hey, BPA

Hi from the Pilotโ€™s office ๐Ÿ™‚ He had some paperwork to do tonight, so I walked around the gym track with the Kindle for a while and am hanging out until heโ€™s done working. Today was a pretty good day- far more productive than yesterday!- filled with errands and many of the things that have…

First date with a chiropractor

Yesterday was my first time seeing a chiropractor, since Iโ€™ve never had a need or desire to before, and for all of the reasons I discussed in this post. I was a little nervous about it, but was glad Tom could go with meโ€ฆ he always makes me feel a little braver. This chiropractor was…

Finding a gym buddy

Our Pilot-grilled dinner was a success, as usual. Heโ€™s kind of a ninja like that.   He enjoyed a steak with bleu cheese, and my โ€œmeatโ€ was a portobello mushroom, topped with mixed greens, balsamic vinaigrette, and lots of goat cheese. We shared a Super Spinach salad from TJs and perfectly grilled asparagus with sea…

All and nothing

Today was one of those days where I felt busy all day, but donโ€™t feel like I accomplished that much. Hereโ€™s to more productivity tomorrow. I did get in a workout (Zuuuuuumba) and went to hang out with my work friends for a little while. Iโ€™m on call this week, so since I didnโ€™t need…

Getting the party started

I took a Zumba class at work today. It still feels really good to move around โ€“and makes me forget that baby and I are spine-to-spine– and I can take it easy, since I was just taking class instead of teaching. It was a great class, and the best part was when my boss walked…

Favorite Workouts of 2011

Getting over the hump! Is it just me, or does this week seem extra strange with two weekend holidays in a row? Itโ€™s definitely taken me a couple of days to get into the swing of things. Switching up the usual eggs and toast with some almond butter and jelly waffles + half-caf coffee with…

Trying something new

Efforts to help the baby flip from posterior position to LOA (facing my right side, how she was until a week ago) have gone from pretty simple: (using my stability ball as a chair and to bounce and rotate my hips whenever possible) to a little crazy: I spent 10 minutes the other night with…
